Peter’s Vision
9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city,
2Peter went up
3on the housetop about
4the sixth hour to pray.
10
And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into
5a trance
11
and saw
6the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.
12
In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air.
13
And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat. ”
14
But Peter said, “By no means, Lord;
7for I have never eaten anything that is
8common or
9unclean. ”
15
And the voice came to him again a second time,
10“What God has made clean, do not call common. ”
16
This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.
